Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie will be back together at the Today anchor desk in Craig Melvin's absence. "Speaking of tomorrow, Craig, you are heading off on a very well-deserved vacation, you've been holding it down here for a long time," Guthrie, 54, said on the Thursday, April 9, episode of Today. "And Monday, we're going to try a new host here. Her name is Hoda." "Oh, I've heard of her," Melvin, 46, quipped, while Guthrie added, "So, that will be fun." The pair's reunion as coanchors will mark their first since Kotb's final day in January 2025.
